“The BLACK SWAN theory or theory of BLACK SWAN EVENTs is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. The term is based on an ancient saying that presumed black swans did not exist, until they were discovered in Australia in 1697, and it then became reinterpreted to mean an unforeseen and consequential event.” (Wikipedia.) “The idea of black swan events can be traced back all the way to 2nd-century Rome, when a poet named Juvenal wrote about something being ‘rare […] very much like a black swan.’ Only, when Juvenal wrote this, he didn’t know that black swans actually existed. At the time, it was sort of like saying something is as rare as flying pigs.” (distractify.com.)

We believe that BLACK SWAN EVENTs can be so named by the eye of the recipient or denied that name by the eye of the creator. We all recognize that history is often written by the victor. We were all told that the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, was unexpected, a “sneak” attack. But is the truth now coming to light in the fact that the U.S. may have pressured Japan into initiating the conflict? The “why” is speculative. Maybe for oil dominance? Maybe to be able to cozy up to mainland China for economic or colonial ideology by forcing the Japanese out of China? “What is known is a “. . . message that was sent to General Douglas MacArthur, who was based in Manila, Philippines and part of the message said, ‘Japanese future action unpredictable but hostile action possible at any moment. If hostilities cannot, repeat, cannot, be avoided the United States desires that Japan commit the first overt act.’ All this happened on November 28, 1941, just nine days before the fate full day that will go down in infamy.” “Is it a little weird that the only three aircraft carriers in the entire US Navy went out on a training mission the day before the attack happened. Or that US radar picked up a mass of unknown aircraft heading towards Hawaii but was said to be an error in the radar equipment and to ignore it.” (library.tamucc.edu.) If you were shocked by this “surprise” attack upon our Nation, then this was indeed considered a BLACK SWAN EVENT by you. If you helped to orchestrate or bring it about and saw the “handwriting on the wall” (Daniel 5:5), then it was not. We blogged before about the dangers of believing everything you hear from a government. Governments will often tell you what they want you to know, not what is the truth. Governments will often sacrifice members of their own to achieve in their own minds a greater purpose. Read our blog titled, “WHO WILL SACRIFICE WHOM FOR WHAT” posted October 22, 2023. China killed thousands (maybe millions) of its own people to exacerbate the spread of the COVID-19 bioweapon, acting in concert with members of our own Nation, killing millions of innocent people world-wide. Was COVID-19 a BLACK SWAN EVENT? If you were the victim and it caught you by surprise, then it was. If you helped in any way to prepare for and perpetrate this pandemic upon our world, then it was not. Was the killing of President John F. Kennedy a BLACK SWAN EVENT, or even the 9-11 attack upon our Nation in 2001? If you were caught by surprise, then they were. If you saw the warning signs, or assisted in the events, then they were not.

Are there BLACK SWAN EVENTS in our Naton’s future in 2024? That depends upon which side of the equation you reside. If you are helping to bring about such events, then they will not be, but if you are caught by surprise, then they will be. If changes are not made to our voting systems by the time the 2024 Presidential election is held, then another BLACK SWAN EVENT will occur, just as it did in 2020. If you doubt about any fraud or election interference in our 2020 elections, then you never saw the illegal dumping and tallying of ballots that were geo-tracked and caught on camera in the film, “2000 Mules”. If you believe our electronic voting and tabulation machines are infallible, then you did not hear about the individual, who in front of a judge last week in the state of Georgia, changed voting counts in a machine with a ball point pen!

Will you be surprised when a BLACK SWAN EVENT occurs in our Nation when multiple terrorist attacks happen simultaneously, creating hostages, casualties and death, wreaking havoc upon our economic, financial, and transportation systems? Will you be caught off guard when a BLACK SWAN EVENT compromises our technological, banking and commerce systems, even impacting our electrical grid system? Will AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) create a BLACK SWAN EVENT? Will “Disease X” (a pandemic purported to be multiple times more deadly than the last one) be unleashed to create a BLACK SWAN EVENT? We have been witnessing to the fringe elements of these events happening around our world even today, yet if we choose to not see them, or believe the often false and misleading mantra pushed by ideological media conglomerates, then you will be witness to a BLACK SWAN EVENT, maybe in multiples. But it will not be so called by those assisting to create and unleash them. Are you questioning everything you hear, and do you do your “due diligence” to seek the real truth? If you do not, then your FREEDOM and LIBERTY in our Nation will be in extreme danger of being lost forever in the shambles of faded glory and wasted valor.

Ahhhh. The Borg. The enemy everyone loves to hate. The futuristic version of a vampire. “The Borg are an alien group that appear as recurring antagonists in the Star Trek fictional universe. The Borg are cybernetic organisms (cyborgs) linked in a hive mind called ‘The Collective’. The Borg co-opt the technology and knowledge of other alien species to The Collective through the process of ‘assimilation’: forcibly transforming individual beings into ‘drones’ by injecting nanoprobes into their bodies and surgically augmenting them with cybernetic components. The Borg’s ultimate goal is ‘achieving perfection’.” (wikipedia.org.)

Our Nation has become the envy of the world because of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those documents gave individuals the opportunity to improve their lives, while contributing their ideas and efforts in making our society explode with growth and progress. If this were not so, millions of illegal aliens would not be making dangerous and expensive migrations to break our border laws and invade our Nation, doing all of that in hopes of being a part of the greatest Nation that has ever existed on the face of this earth. If this were not so, millions of people would be fleeing our borders seeking a better life elsewhere. We want to quote something every citizen should be able to recognize. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Oh, did we forget to mention another important document, The Declaration of Independence? No. That which we just quoted came from that founding document signed “In Congress, July 4, 1776”, “The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.” It is the pursuit of happiness that drives the spirit of an individual forward. Happiness is NOT guaranteed, but our Nation is great because it fosters hope in the individual, to achieve and progress and thrive in America.

The danger to individual progress and achievement is to deny an individual “the pursuit of happiness”. Let’s consider one angle having a direct impact on “the pursuit of happiness.” How effective would any organization be if each member of a particular group all had the exact same talent? If they all wanted to be president, who would serve as secretary, or treasurer, or who would actually do the work decided by the officers? We think the answer is obvious. Without a diversification of talents, the entire organization would be comprised of nothing but duplicated drones. We could call them “Borgs”, not capable of individual thought, only able to serve “The Collective”. But who or what is in control of “The Collective”? The Borg had a “Queen”. All Borg drones had their individuality taken from them to serve the desires of the “Queen”. In the Star Trek series, the “Queen” pursued perfection by assimilating each race or species her collective encountered. For the Borg, how would they know when “perfection” was achieved? Was it when there were no other races or species to assimilate? That answer was never addressed, at least so far. “The Dangers of Collectivism” come more in focus in a number of ways.

There are those who met this last week in the mountain resort of Davos, Switzerland, at what they call the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971 by Klaus Schwab, a German engineer and professed economist. For our blog today, we will call him the “Queen” of the Borg collective, for his goal is control over all nations of the world, taking away individual FREEDOM and LIBERTY for billions of earth’s inhabitants. “This year, Davos will draw roughly 1,600 business leaders (including 800 CEOs . . .); 60 heads of state and government . . . ; 150 notable disruptors across industries, and 200 social entrepreneurs and young leaders involved in various WEF programs.” (qz.com.) One website summarized the attendance this way; “The WEF said that around 28% of the total of 3,000 participants, including 350 heads of state and government and ministers, who gathered in Davos this year were women.” (reuters.com.) We really cannot tell how many were actually in attendance. Were you invited to attend? We doubt it, because you are the “race or species” “The Collective” wants to assimilate. The theme this year was “Rebuilding Trust”. We bet, after the last several years the WEF has been exposed as those who desire the dissolution of nation’s borders, as well as control over population, economic, and ideology of all those who have not attained an elite, social status. That would include people like us, and nations like ours. Although we cannot be sure, there have been through the decades groups or clubs formed for which their ultimate purpose may remain hidden, except for attendees. The Bohemian Club, established in 1878 was one such club in the United States. They met at the Bohemian Grove. “The Grove is particularly famous for a Manhattan Project planning meeting that took place there in September 1942, which subsequently led to the atomic bomb. Those attending this meeting included . . . J. Robert Oppenheimer . . . as well as various military officials.” (wikipedia.org.) But we digress.

There are other ways “The Dangers of Collectivism” can raise its ugly head. Consider the current government’s push toward a digital currency, where the “cash” you own can be monitored, even controlled, by those in charge, giving them the power to restrict or permit the use of your money. Smart electric meters on your residence can be controlled by someone else who can allow or disallow your use of energy based on the needs of “The Collective”. If “ministries of truth” are established, limits to your FREEDOM and LIBERTY can be imposed, depending upon how uniformly you comply with those in control, socially or ideologically.

Sadly, sometimes “The Dangers of Collectivism” start with the destruction of what once was. The United Nations first introduced this concept in 2015, claiming the purpose was to rebuild better something that had been destroyed naturally. It was called, “Build Back Better.” The current occupant of the White House co-opted this theme in his campaign for the Presidency and instituted it in the 117th Congress in 2021. The culprit to cause the need to rebuild was the vast destruction of life, both in terms of humanity and economic business, that COVID-19 inflicted upon our Nation and the world at large. Is it that the illegal alien invasion at our borders is designed to “Build Back Better” our Nation following the pandemic? Could Artificial General Intelligence be the driving force to “Build Back Better”? Finally, consider how the pandemic forced most of us to stay at home, wear masks, and at the same time be injected with a serum that proved to be neither capable of preventing infection by the virus nor spreading the virus, not to mention how those in charge of the development of the vaccines hid from public view the side effects which for many turned out to be life ending. Is it possible that these vaccines have a long-term impact we have yet to realize? Could those serums be considered a form of “nanoprobes” designed to augment our “assimilation” into their “collective”? If you question that possibility, we will refer you to a book titled, “The Indoctrinated Brain”, by Michael Nehls. Filled with research from multiple studies, by reading this book, you will learn how our brains have been impacted by chemicals and other factors that can affect our memories and our abilities to reason and function normally. All of what we have mentioned above have direct bearing on “The Dangers of Collectivism”. If we allow others to take away our individualism and force us to comply as we are “assimilated” into their “collective”, then our ability to function as people “endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights”, will truly be in jeopardy risking the loss of our FREEDOM and LIBERTY.

The following tale is fictional. No people or animals were harmed during its writing. We tell this fable for its many analogies and applications, maybe to your life, your experiences, your efforts, or your strategies. We hope that at its conclusion, you will spend some time in personal reflection, to evaluate what could, or may, be happening to you in our Nation today. The tale speaks to your accountability to your Creator, and how steadfast you are to His innate conscience and morals within you. Remember, a light shines brightest in the darkest places.

Years ago, in a land not far away, there were people very interested in hunting down some very illusive animals. No matter how hard they tried using conventional means, they were always extremely unsuccessful. Together, they rationalized that their methods must be flawed, outdated, for their approach seemed certainly ineffective. They decided to form a club, to communicate, coordinate, and devise better strategies and methods. So, a club was formed. They purchased a lodge for their meetings and proudly displayed the name of their organization on the outside of their building above the front door, “THE HUNTER’S CLUB”. They began meeting regularly to discuss and make plans, each contributing their own personal methods, which were adopted by many. They met and hunted for many months, but unfortunately, they found that the standard methods used by one member were as ineffective when used by another member. Something else had to be done to increase their effectiveness in the hunt. They started thinking “outside the box”, coming up with all kinds of new hunting methods. They tried dressing more like the prey, in colors that made them seem less threatening to the prey. The found that spaying on special scent products made them even smell like their prey. But still, they were not satisfied with the results. They determined they had not gone far enough. Soon, they began wearing the horns and feathers of their prey, but still that seemed insufficient. They learned how to make the proper sounds of their prey, and their sounds could be heard for miles around their club building when they practiced. Still, they were not being as effective in their hunt as they had hoped. They finally determined they needed to move and act like their prey. They would meet for hours at a time in their club and practice their moves, dancing, jumping, and leaping well into the wee hours of the mornings. This went on for days and extended into weeks and months. Before long, they felt they were ready for the hunt to resume. One by one they departed and joined in the hunt for their prey. They had not counted on one flaw in their plan. They could no longer distinguish themselves from their prey. They found themselves cavorting with the prey and became like their prey in nearly every way imaginable. Many forgot who they really were and were lost in the deep woods of the forests around. But they did not recognize they were lost as they seemed to have found new clanship with their prey. Months turned into years and “THE HUNTER’S CLUB” fell into disrepair due to abandonment. Years then extended into decades, during which none of the club‘s members ever returned. They were lost among their prey, for the hunters had become the hunted. Several decades passed, and many who passed by the meeting place wondered what had happened to the club. The building was covered with moss and vines, and barely visible and readable was the sign that once hung proudly over the entrance door, now partially suspended at one end with the other end resting on the ground blocking the door. Some of the greatgrandchildren of the founding members of the club would occasionally wander by and ask silently to themselves, what went so tragically wrong at “THE HUNTER’S CLUB”?

We want to be blunt, not out of spite, and certainly not out of a feeling of superiority, for what we say now is as applicable to us as it may be to you. Pollution is a horrible thing. It destroys the normal by corrupting the natural. Pollution can compromise in multiple ways and with multiple things. Pollution of the environment, of the air, water, soil, and of any natural element. Pollution can compromise and even destroy beings, like animals and humans. Pollution can also alter chemicals and chemistry. Finally, pollution can infect thoughts, ideology, morality, and truth, things that cannot be seen but can be manifested in words and actions. As “enlightened” humans, we think we know so much, but we don’t know what we don’t know. When it comes to the human brain, the mind, the center of reasoned thought, we can dissect certain functions within the brain, and can understand some of the processes within the brain that lend to communication and actions, but when it comes to understanding conscience, awareness, beliefs and thoughts, we struggle to understand and comprehend, let alone define and analyze one’s soul. We can give names to one’s actions and words through labels like liberal or conservative, schizophrenic or sociopathic, but to understand the how and why is far outside our grasp. We know that heredity, traditions, experiences, social interactions, and education play a part, but all those things can be witnessed or researched. The intangibles are illusive.

We say all of this to get to the point of our fable. As individuals, we are all self-controlling beings. We all have the FREEDOM and LIBERTY to talk and walk as we think. In our attempts to integrate into groups, clicks, or organizations, we can be tempted to act or talk against our “normal”, to “fit-in” and be found acceptable. All humans have a basic need for some kind of companionship. Some find it in spousal relationships, or in clubs of like-mindedness. Some find bonding with animals, who usually do not contradict or complicate our desires. Sometimes we are influenced to pursue our relationships as we seek acceptance and belonging with our “prey” by making efforts to become like them. So, we ask some basic questions all can answer. Have you compromised your “normal” in anyway by altering your “natural”? Do you occasionally cheat or lie, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant? When driving, do you speed beyond the limits of the established guidelines, or roll through stop signs without coming to a complete stop? Do you watch movies that make violence and sex desensitized in your thoughts and even actions? Do you seek revenge and pursue another’s harm through gossip or the spreading of lies and misrepresentations? Everyone should know we see a lot of that in campaign ads these days, regardless of which side of the political aisle you reside. Do your thoughts ponder on the good and healthy, or are they bombarded leaving scars of dislike, hate, or even violence? All of us are children of our Creator, whether you recognize it or not. He has instilled within each of us “His Image” of morality and truth. The Spirit or Soul that indwells has the choice to serve Him faithfully, or to reject His guidance and forgiveness. If we choose to walk toward the path of the tolerance of evil and sin, to find community and clanship with those who exemplify that through words and actions, then we will become just like them. We have found that when “good” attempts to influence “evil” by joining in their activities, “evil” too often overcomes the “good”. We should all be warned to not be like them. Jesus prayed that His disciples would not be “of the world”, even though they are “in the world”, and the same applies to us today. (John 17: 14-15, 20.) If you want to maintain your true FREEDOM and LIBERTY, then don’t dress, smell, sound, and act like those who call this world their home, or you will lose those qualities not only for yourself, but also for those who follow you in life. If you want to influence those who have wandered away from their Creator, just remember that a light shines its brightest in the darkest places. “You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14-16.)

The citizens of our great Nation have found themselves on two separate paths, which exemplify a DIVERGENCE. On December 17, 2023, we talked about the sensibility of being found on the RIGHT, in any issue, or in any way, when we blogged, “Is There Justification For Being on the Right”. We followed that blog on December 31, 2023, when we talked about “The Dichotomy of the Season”, where we showed such a tremendous disconnect between what once was in the year 2019 with what is in 2023. The difference is like night and day, and in fact it is manifested in GOOD versus EVIL. The choice for the year 2024 boils down to each citizen of our Nation making a choice about which path to take in this DIVERGENCE. We do not necessarily ascribe to the “Yogiisms” (or pseudo-Yogiisims, we’re not really sure which) attributed to Yogi Berra when he may have said, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” We’re not sure if he meant it didn’t matter which fork you took, or if you found a fork lying on the road, you should pick it up because one would never know when you might need to use it, especially if it was silver and had value.

Those who choose to follow the path of least resistance, who are easily persuaded or beguiled into believing the ideological mantra pushed by socialistic, sociopathic radicals, often those currently in power both in our government and in most major corporations and media outlets, have chosen the way to National destruction of our Republic. (See our blog on DANGERS OF SOCIOPATHS, June 13, 2021.) Those who believe in an unchanging Constitution, who believe there is an ultimate truth, who desire to hold fast to morality, equal justice and equality (not equity), must also choose a path to pursue. It is a path not easily tread upon. The path is cluttered with the bodies of those who have been pursued and attacked, a path frequented by ambushes, false charges and lawsuits, and encompasses what seems to be more up-hill battles than the ease of downhill coasting. Fear has prevented many from making that journey, as much can be lost, like one’s wealth, and ultimately FREEDOM and LIBERTY should prosecution and incarceration be charged and imposed. However, unlike our Founding Fathers, death is not something to be feared, at least “the first death”. To those who have been given much, much will be required (paraphrased from Luke 12:48).

It is true that those who have chosen the RIGHT path have often endured criticism, banning, black-listing, shadow banning, or even cancellation or persecution and incarceration. Many who claim to be on the RIGHT have failed to act accordingly, usually, presumably, because of multiple reasons that can and often do feed on fear. Where would our Nation be today had our Founding Fathers succumbed to these fears? We believe you can surmise the answer. Many months ago, we blogged about the concept of fear in response to our political actions. Please refresh your memory if your fear of action has led you to inaction. (Turn FEARFULNESS into FEARLESSNESS, April 4, 2021.) We believe the ultimate response to the fear of taking action is to put one’s faith in the hands of our Creator. We direct your attention to the Bible book of Psalms. The 119 chapter is the largest chapter in the whole Bible. It would do you well to read it once again and understand from whence the writer’s strength and assurance came. Only a handful of verses in this chapter did not mention it. The writer’s strength and assurance came from God’s precepts, His ordinances, His Word, His law, His statutes, His commandments, His testimonies, His ways, and His judgements. The writer of the Psalm summarized it succinctly when in verse 142 he said, “Thy law is truth”. Knowing the “law” gives “great peace” (vs. 165). When we mentioned earlier about a belief in an ultimate truth, we were not basing our statement upon false hope or unsubstantiated claims. Let us remind you of some words of wisdom from some pretty good folks who helped compile the Psalms.

The section of the Psalms we would like to focus on are chapters 120 through 134. These are called the “songs of assent”, named that way over the centuries as those were the particular Psalms that were recited or sung by the Hebrews as they made their way up the hill to Jerusalem for their annual feasts. The Psalms were also recited or sung as they walked up the steps to the Temple. We use the word “assent”, but the Hebrew word was “ma’alot” meaning “going up”. King David wrote 4 of the assent Psalms, Solomon wrote 1, and 10 were from anonymous writers (biblestudytools.com; May 25, 2023). When choosing to walk on the RIGHT path, consider the following passages from the Psalms.

Psalm 121: “I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From whence shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever.”

Psalm 123: 3-4: “Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us; For we are greatly filled with contempt. Our soul is greatly filled With the scoffing of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.”

Psalm 124: “‘Had it not been the Lord who was on our side,’ Let Israel now say, ‘Had it not been the Lord who was on our side, When men rose up against us; Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us; The waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul; Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.’ Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.”

Consider also some verses from Psalm chapter 80. Verses 3 and 4, “O God, restore us, And cause Thy face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.” Repeated in slightly different wording in verses 14 and 19. Look at some of Soloman’s benediction in I Kings 8:46-53, “When they sin against Thee (for there is no man who does not sin) and Thou art angry with them and dost deliver them to an enemy, so that they take them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near; if they take thought in the land where they have been taken captive, and repent and make supplication to Thee in the land of those who have taken them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly’; if they return to Thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and pray to Thee toward their land which Thou hast given to their fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for Thy name; then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven Thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause, and forgive Thy people who have sinned against Thee and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against Thee, and make them objects of compassion before those who have taken them captive, that they may have compassion on them (for they are Thy people and Thine inheritance which Thou hast brought forth from Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace), that Thine eyes may be open to the supplication of Thy servant and to the supplication of Thy people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to Thee. ‘For Thou hast separated them from all the peoples of the earth as Thine inheritance, as Thou didst speak through Moses Thy servant, when Thou didst bring our fathers forth from Egypt, O Lord God.'” Finally, notice that Daniel prayed a very similar prayer in Daniel 9:1-19, as he recognized not only his own sin, but also that of his people, and made supplication to God for all.

Artificial General Intelligence is rapidly becoming a god to many who choose to ignore our Creator, and many have chosen a path of DIVERGENCE from our Creator. If we desire to retain our FREEDOM and LIBERTY in this great Nation, under the rule of our Creator, the one and only true God, then we must make AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN (our blog on August 15, 2022). May our words today, and the scriptures quoted, spur us all on to make our own supplications to our Creator, to make sure we are on HIS side (see our blog on August 6, 2023, titled, WHOSE SIDE IS THE LORD ON?). Yes, there is DIVERGENCE within our Nation today. Have you made the RIGHT decision, and are you on the RIGHT side?
